CHAPTER TWO

QYXIELLA

I didn't struggle when Blyre kissed me, caressed me, and when he tried to take off my clothes, I obediently complied. I like his kisses. It was a fleeting good feeling. My world stopped to savor his sinful lips.

His every touch seared my skin and my heart jolted in happiness. Blyre is very caring. Every touch of his hand was silently asking for permission if he could go dipper. When his hand reached my folds, he gently cupped it before slowly rubbing it and inserting a finger. I screamed loudly.

“Ahh… Blyre. Hmm!” I bite my tongue to stifle my moans, but I can't. Blyre’s hand is too much.

“Forgive me for what I will do next, Qyxiella. I'll give you what you asked for.” Blyre claimed my lips and slowly nibbled it while his other hand started taking off my dress. I didn't protest.

Searing heat enveloped my body as Blyre covered me with his kisses. When he settled himself on top of me, I knew this night was going to be the night I would feel bliss. I opened my legs wider for him. When he entered me, I thought I would feel heaven just like what Zhenesca and Forester always told me, but damn! It fucking hurts.

“Ahh!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs when excruciating pain pierced at my bottom. Blyre is so big it filled up my entire womanhood.

“Don’t worry, Qyxie. I will make you feel better soon.”

Blyre was correct. After the pain comes the ecstatic pleasure that I kept wanting for more.

Our relationship developed into something I didn’t expect. They bloomed like pretty flowers in summer. I started to fall in love with him and Blyre likes me too. We dated, we made love, and our lives together are happy. I forgot the pain of my past. My friends were also happy for us. I lived with Bryle in his condo and I didn’t regret it. This was the joyous moment of my life.

”Are you happy?” Bryle asked and hugged me from behind. We are stargazing on the veranda after our drinking sessions with Forester and Zhenesca.

“Yes. I am. Look!” I pointed at the stars excitedly while giggling a little. I was tipsy, so Bryle supported my body, afraid I would fall over. “It was sunny the whole day and there were a lot of stars in the sky. Isn’t it beautiful?” I turned my head slightly and gazed at Bryle.

He smiled and kissed me on my cheek. It was light, but heavy with his compassion. “Yes, very beautiful.”

My smile remained as I leaned my back on him. It was a lovely and peaceful night that I hoped would not end. But how could it be when there is still a secret that I haven’t told Bryle?

”What are you afraid of?” One day Forester asked me when we were meeting at our club. Blyre was out of town. He went abroad for some work, that's what he told me. It has been five days since he left, and I miss him so much.

I helplessly sighed and declined the drink Zhenesca had offered me. “I’ll pass.”

“Why, not in the mood?” Zhenesca raised her brow when she asked. She sat back on the couch and silently sipped her cocktail. She seemed down and bothered by something, but she didn’t voice it out. I wanted to ask her. Between the three of us there were no secrets, but Forester interrupted me.

“Qyxie, I am telling you. It is better to let Bryle know about our agreement. You love him, but can you continue fooling him? He loves you too, right?”

I nodded and grinned. “Of course!” I dodged her first sentence and sat between her and Zhenesca. I took out something from my bag and excitedly showed it to them. “Look! We are having a baby!” I held the sonogram in front and waved it to them. I have a foolish grin on my face. I am happy. I am happy that Blyre and I are having a baby. He expected this, so I knew he would be excited once he learnt that I was carrying his child.

“Ahh! Seriously, Qyxie?!” Zhenesca sat up straight as she took the sonogram from me and stared at it while grinning widely. Forester was the same. I am glad that they are happy for me and I know they will support me for whatever journey I am walking.

I was abandoned by my mother when my mother died five years ago. Since then, these two have stood by my side and helped me until I finished college and finally set up this club.

“Congratulations, Qyxie! I am so happy for you.” Forester hugged me from the side. When Zhenesca saw us, she joined us and we hugged tightly.

“Wait!” Zhenesca suddenly let go and separated me from Forester. “Be careful. The baby will squash!”

I smiled and hugged the two with their shoulders and leaned my head on it. “I am happy. Thank you, guys, for always supporting me. I am sure Bryle will be excited about this. I can’t wait to tell him.”

“And I can’t wait to be the godmother of this child.” Zhenesca softly rubbed my still flat stomach. “I am sure she will be a beauty like me.”

“Nah! She will be as gorgeous as me.” Forester contradicted and also rubbed my tummy lightly.

I felt elated about the care these two gave me. It was a fleeting moment of happiness that I didn’t want to end. But the words Forester followed struck my heart like a lightning bolt, mostly when a certain person appeared in front of me. It was too late to stop Forester.

“You won the bet, Qyxie. You have a man now and— “

“So, I am only a bet?”

Bryle’s cold voice sounded like thunder in the private room. It pierced my ear straight to my heart and I froze. Pain, regrets, and shame engulfed me. I wanted to walk up to him and explain, but I couldn’t move my feet. No one in the room uttered a single word.

“Bryle…” I muttered. My voice was suppressed by my choking sobs.

Then a phone rang. It was Bryle’s, and he answered it before looking at me with a cold glint. He turned around, and it was the last time that I had seen him.

That night, as coincidentally as it was, my father, who had abandoned me for five years, arrived and forced me to go with him. The next morning when I woke up, I was in Peru and on my finger was a ring that signified I was married. To whom, I don’t know, but a familiar person was inside the room and looking at me questioningly.
